Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a small jar with a tightly sealing lid.
  • Seal the lid and shake to emulsify. Pour over your favorite salad, toss and enjoy.

Notes

  • Dressing will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Oil will solidify in the refrigerator so allow it to come to room temperature on the counter before using. Once the oil in the dressing has become liquid again, shake to re-emulsify right before use.
  • Fresh lemons have the best flavor in a recipe like this. 
  • Make sure the container you're using seals tightly If storing in refrigerator, a glass container is better to use than plastic.
  • Use fresh garlic and shallot if at all possible but if needed, you can replace the shallot with 1/2 tsp. onion powder and the garlic with 1/4 tsp. garlic powder. 
  • Use a Dijon or stone ground mustard.
